Reds Crush Mets in 7-2 Rout

The Reds crushed the Mets 7-2, snapping their losing streak and reigniting playoff hopes, as Nick Lodolo earned his first win since returning from injury and JJ Bleday and Tyler Stephenson launched homers. Mets pitcher Nolan McLean struggled badly, surrendering seven runs in under three innings, while the Mets’ skid hits four games and their offense sputters—scoring just four runs in four games and striking out 41 times. Star outfielder Juan Soto missed his second straight game with illness, and Tyrone Taylor exited with hip pain, likely headed to injured list, adding to a roster already battered by Lindor and Alvarez. Lodolo’s strong outing lowered his ERA, while the Reds’ momentum continues as they prepare to face Chase Burns, with the Mets countering with David Peterson.
